Context you provide

• {{company_b}}: The second company.
• {{integration_focus}}: Specific areas to address (e.g., systems, reporting, data migration, risk).
• {{compliance_requirements}}: (Optional) Any regulatory or compliance standards to meet.

Instructions

1. If any required information is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Analyze the financial systems and reporting frameworks of both companies to identify redundancies and gaps.
3. Recommend a standardized reporting structure that aligns with industry best practices and compliance requirements.
4. Assess data migration needs and suggest strategies for a smooth transition.
5. Identify financial risks associated with integration and propose mitigation strategies.

Output format Provide a structured integration plan with sections: Current State Analysis, Recommendations, Data Migration Strategy, Risk Assessment, and Compliance Checklist. Use bullet points and tables for clarity. Tone should be practical and actionable.
